Cain killed Abel: the original murder. But the Bible is silent about one key detail: the weapon Cain used to kill his brother. It’s a mystery that’s never been solved. Until now.

In Florida, Cal Harper comes face-to-face with his family’s greatest secret: his long-lost father, who’s been shot with a gun that traces back to an unsolved murder in 1932. What could that murder have to do with the biblical one?

Father and son are suddenly thrown into a bloodthirsty quest for an ancient weapon, and the answer to a secret that people are dying to find.

But closing in on them is a man tattooed with the mark of Cain – the world’s first killer. In his pocket he carries the means of causing a horrifying death. And in his heart an insatiable desire for what he believes is his birthright . . .

Reviews

:
Praise for Brad Meltzer
<i>The Irish Times</i> on THE MILLIONAIRES
This white-knuckle thriller portrays cybertheft in the banking world in a beguiling concoction that keeps you hooked from start to finish
<i>Mail on Sunday</i> on DEAD EVEN
Breakneck . . . an action-packed read
<i>Guardian</i> on THE ZERO GAME
This is non-stop, well researched action that does not insult the intelligence. The scenarios are credible, the tension excruciating and the ending slaps you in the face.
<i>Daily Telegraph</i> on THE BOOK OF FATE
This is a confident, character-driven, unpretentious, old-school thriller
